World King is a fun educational game that will let you test your knowledge about other countries and also
learn
more about them in an entertaining way!
Concept:
The concept of the game is pretty simple. When you start the game, you see a world map. You can click on any country you would like to colonize first. If you answered the question about that country, you annex it to your kingdom. Otherwise, you lose the country. The more countries you annex, the better it is, of course. But do not worry, if you made mistakes, you still learned something new!
And After?
After clicking on the map of a particular country, answering the associated question, and clicking "Submit" a screen will show up indicating whether your answer is correct or incorrect. It also contains a "Note" that usually gives further insight into the topic of the question.
If The Answer Is Correct:
If your answer is correct, the color of the country's map will turn green and it will be added to the "Colonies" board.
If The Answer Is Wrong:
If your answer is incorrect, the color of the country's map will turn red and it will be added to the "Lost" board, which means that you have lost your chance to annex this country.
What Is "Attempted"?
The "Attempted" board displays the number of countries you have attempted to colonize, whether they were annexed or lost. It is basically the number of countries for which you have submitted one of the answer options to their question.
What Is This Thing Below The Map?
This section below the map helps you keep track of your performance/progress. It also shows the number of
colonized countries. But most importantly, it shows the percentage of the colonized countries out of the
attempted countries.
